Cody was curled up a couch on her front step looking at pictures when Squib came back.

“Hey Beautiful”
He called, walking down the path.

Cody laid down the pictures and smiled “Hey you”.

Squib sat down
beside her and laid his arm loosely behind her “what are you up do”.

“Just looking at some pictures”
Cody said handing a pile to Squib.

Squib picked threw them “hey ! I remember this one ! I took it, when we were
out on the boat. Cody would you mind if I kept it?”.

“It’s a hundred years old Squib” Cody
wrinkled her nose.

“I know, but I never want to forget how beautiful you looked at that moment”.

Cody
blushed “Well since you put it that way you can keep it”.

Squib leaned over and gave Cody a quick kiss
“Forever”

Cody snuggled into Squib “So what are we doing today? My first day back”.

“Well
have you seen everyone already?”

“Everyone but Rick”.

“I passed him on my way down here,
want to go see him”.

“ Okay, sounds good”.

Squib stood up and took Cody’s hand, and
pulling her up. He affectionately wrapped his arm around her and hugged her close as they walked. Cody caught sight of Rick
before he saw her so she ran from Squib’s hold and jumped Rick to the ground “ hey loser”.

Rick rolled
over “Cody?” he asked “You’re here !”.

Cody laughed “Hey Rick”.

Rick
grabbed her in a hug “Oh man Code I’ve missed you. How long are you home for?”.

Cody laughed
at the joke “I’m already going steady with Furlong here” she said laying her head on squibs lap.

“Lucky
guy” Rick nodded.

“I know” Squib agreed holding Cody closer.

“Listen, I got to go to
lunch with my dad. See you to later?” Cody asked standing up and brushing the grass of her skirt.

“Sure,
see you Code. Nice to have you back”.

“Nice to be back” Cody smiled “I’ll call you later
Squib”.

”Bye” Squib called as she walked back to her house.

Adena and Cameron
lay under a big oak tree “Cam we have to tell her sometime. I mean, she is only going to be gone so long”.

“I
know” Cameron sighed “I don’t know why it’s been so hard. Me and Tannis were never together in the
first place”.

“Yes, but you always had the sexual tension between you”.

“Adena, I like
you. A lot! I want to be with you. As soon as Tannis gets home we will tell her”.

“In a few months.. And
I’m going to feel guilty until then”.

“Well till the next time she calls?”

“Sounds
good” Adena smiled “Now how about you buy me dinner”.

Cameron laughed “Come on Dena, were going
to Arnies”.

“Yum! Hamburger platter here I come!”

**Cody made her way up to the school
and knocked on Squib’s door. There was no answer so she went inside any ways. Squib was solid asleep on the floor. She
smiled and crept over to him. She lay down beside him and just watched him sleep. His dirty blonde hair was brushing his forward
and Cody couldn’t help but brush it away from his face. Squib stirred and Cody leaned close to his face and gave him
a soft kiss. Squib slowly opened his eyes “Cody when did you get here?”.

Cody smiled “ A little while
ago. Your so cute when your asleep”.

Squib smiled, and pulled Cody closer to him, closing his eyes again “How
was your day?”.

“Good. I missed my dad so much. But the day is nowhere near over Squib. It’s only
3” she smiled shyly.

“What do you have in fine Ms.Myers” Squib asked playfully.

“I
have an idea” Cody smiled.

**

Cody opened her eyes to see Squibs face “hey you” she moaned
“What are you doing?”.

“So..”
Cody grumbled, burring her head in Squibs chest “Wouldn’t you rather stay here with me?”.

“More
then anything, but Cody commmme on”.

Cody laughed “I’m up I’m up”. She slipped into her
shirt and sweater “im gone”

“no!” Squib yelped jumping out of bed “Wait for me !”.

“No
way ! be seen with you I think so” she laughed and took off down the hallway, her shoes in her hand.

“Cody
Myers!” Squib cried slipping on his cargo pants and a shirt “I’m going to make you be seen with me”
He started to run, and finally caught up with her at the entrance of the café. He picked her up and carried her to the group
A table over his shoulder “Hello All” .

“Umm.. Squib? Cody?” Cameron asked “Whats up”.

“Nothing
starving” Squib grinned.

“Gary Furlong if you don’t put me down I’ll figgin kill you”.

“Is
that supposed to make me wanna put you down. I’m to young to die”.

Adena, Cody, Rick and Squib kind of
got quite for a minute. Cameron knew what they were thinking about to he tried to lighten the mood “Man I couldn’t
eat another bite after that munch at Arnies”.

Squib let Cody down to the floor “Sorry Code”.

Cody
smiled “Its fine. Just joking around”.

“I like being part of group of A while Tannis is gone. I never
though I’d be part of this group”.

“What did I tell you Rick. Your always group A to me” Cody
smiled hugging Rick.

“And I never forgot it” Rick smiled “Thanks Code”.

Squib got kind
of jealous watched the two friend interact “So Everyone excited about the party tonight”.

“Yep! Any
excuse for a party! And this is a d**n good one” Adena grinned.

“Down at the beach at 8:30” Squib
reminded.

“We’ll all be there” Cameron commented before taking a bite of Adena burger.

“Hey
so much for not being able to eat anything !’ Adena cried.

*Cody slipped into a black summer dress and her
black flip flops. Adena and curled her hair and done her makeup for her earlier so now all she had to do was wait for Squib.
She finally heard her doorbell ring. She jogged down to the front door “Coming Squib”. She pulled open the door,
but it wasn’t Squib it was “Michael!” Cody cried in surprise “What are you doing here!?”

“Not
the welcome I expected” Michael chuckled nervously “Cody listen. Wow you look amazing.. I came to tell you something”.

“What
is it?”

“I love you”

“Cody?” Squib asked coming up this front porch.

“Squib”
Cody muttered confused “This is Michael”.

“Squib? The Squib who broke your heart”

“Man
who do you think you are”.

“I love Cody !” Michael growled.

“I love Cody ! And were
together” Squib said angrily wrapping his arm around Cody’s waist.

“Cody is this true?” Michael
asked.

“Yes.. Mike I’m sorry” Cody started.

“Don’t bother” Michael shook
his head walking away “I shouldn’t have even come”

"Michael i'm sorry" Cody cried as he walked away
"I love you as a fried".

Michael waved his hand not looking back.

Cody leaned on Squib tears running down her
cheeks "I just dont feel that way"
